We can all agree that sometimes you simply need to control the sun coming in our windows. It can be too bright, too hot or just plain annoying. Often, the way to control the sun was to close our shades, curtains or blinds. While this DOES work, it also, in many cases eliminates our beautiful view. I mean c'mon..... we live in Colorado for a reason.

Clear View Window Films can help to control the sun entering your windows and maintain your beautiful mountain view. Take a look at the 2 photos below. Which view do you prefer?

Clear View offers a variety of window films designed to hold glass together should it become broken. This reduces the risk of smash and grab theft or personal injury.

Windows are, and always have been, the quickest way for people to gain access to someplace they’re not supposed to be. And if they’re going in through a smashed window, it’s usually because time is something they don’t have much of. The glass will break, but not shatter, helping to prevent the intruder from entering quickly, and leaving him wondering what to do next. In most cases, the answer is simple: move on.

Vandalism is more than just a nuisance and eyesore; it’s also a huge financial drain to public and private budgets. The cost of repeatedly replacing windows and glass that has been scratched up or marked with spray-paint can end up being prohibitive, not to mention time consuming and disruptive.

Anti-Graffiti window coating for the commercial and retail marketplace. When vandals do strike, it won’t be permanent. The window stays put, and just the film is replaced, at a fraction of the cost.

Office Evolution in Cherry Creek had recently moved in and was ready for business, with one exception. Every office, independently leased was visible to everybody walking by. They called upon their designer who came up with a great solution and a very cool design using white and orange frosted window film.

Clear View installed this pattern on 23 offices and 2 conference rooms, giving the office a very unique look.

Countless times I have heard consumers comment that the "glass guy" told them that window film causes seal failure in windows. Seal failure occurs when the sealant between the two panes of glass breaks, subjecting the airspace to the surrounding environment. Since the seal acts as the moisture barrier, if the seal breaks, condensation can develop in the airspace of the insulating glass window, making it look cloudy or filled with moisture droplets.

The environment inside an insulating glass unit can be affected by its external environment such as temperature and air pressure. Changes in temperature and air pressure put additional stress on the seals. High elevation creates additional pressure on sealed windows. The use of less resilient sealants in the construction of the insulating glass unit can also cause the seals to fail. Most manufacturers, however, design and test their products to withstand significant changes in air pressure and temperature, thereby reducing the chance of failures. Nevertheless, seal failure does and will continue to occur simply because of the way in which insulated units are manufactured, shipped and installed. In fact, the insulating glass manufacturers association (SIGMA) has found normal seal failure to be at a rate of 1.5% of the insulated units.

So, does window film cause seal failure? Not likely. The window film industry and AIMCAL has conducted a number of tests to evaluate the affect of window film on sealed glass units. Results indicate that on a clear insulating unit, window film designed for residential and commercial application only increases the summertime airspace temperature by no more than 22 degrees, a pressure increase of only .55 psi (pounds per square inch). Put into perspective, most manufacturers of the glass units design their products to withstand a pressure change of 3.30 psi, over six times the film's potential pressure increase. These are industry standards.

What can you do? We advise our customers who have seal failure concerns to contact their window manufacturer. If your window manufacturer voids the warranty on the window when film is installed, you should ask for their test data supporting these warranty limitations.

Our American Standard Window Films provide seal failure coverage on many window units. Ask us for more details.

This new Big R store in Conifer, CO was expanding and need to cover up some windows so you could not see the wall being built directly in front of the windows. Their goal was to give the building a nice look, but hide the wall studs. Below is a photo from the outside. Clear View installed our American Standard White Frost window film. The store was so pleased we have now been asked to install the same film on their inventory building.

When selecting a window film product for your home, I suggest focusing on the main reason why you are considering window tint. Is it for heat reduction or to protect your furnishings?

Keep in mind..... "It doesn't matter how well it works if you don't like the way it looks".

Our Daydream 35 film is a very popular choice. This film is one of our "medium shades" and will reduce solar heat by 50%, cut glare and block 99% of the UV entering your windows. One of the nice features of this film is that it will enhance your view rather than obstructing it like blinds or shades. Notice how much better the colors are in the windows on the right in the photo below. Darker shades are available for those requiring increased heat and glare reduction.

No Film / Daydream 35
For those that want to keep the original look of their windows, but want to block out the damaging UV rays we offer a selection of light films that are barely detectable yet will still block UV by 99%. These films are almost invisible! Our NOVA 70 film will reduce heat by 50% and you'll hardly know it's on the window. Nature 50 is also a very light that will provide some glare and heat reduction without darkening the room.

Clear View Window Tinting is locally owned and operated. As a small family business we take every project seriously. We don't make claims of being the biggest or oldest window tinting company in the Denver area. We let our quality products and workmanship speak for itself. Bragging is just not our style. At Clear View, you will deal directly with the owner and we won't send out "sub-contractors" to do the work. www.tintcolorado.com

We use American Standard Window Films that are made in Las Vegas, NV. ASWF offers a high quality product, backed by a comprehensive warranty. After all, a warranty is only as good as the company that stands behind it. That's why you should think twice about using a company that is the "exclusive" dealer for any product. This leads to question... "who stands behind the warranty?". If that dealer was to go out of business, who will honor the warranty? Rest assured, American Standard Window Films will be there should you ever have a warranty concern.

Colorado Business Bank in Downtown Denver had an issue with their lobby getting too hot during the day. Even though there was a light tint on the windows, it simply wasn't effective enough. Clear View removed the old tint and installed Daydream 15. They selected this product based on it's heat reduction performance. Now the lobby is much cooler, even on hot days.

The door on the right has Daydream 15 applied, while the door on the left is untreated.

The Habitat for Humanity office in Denver is located just north of downtown in a residential area. The majority of their windows faced North and South. Surprisingly, they experienced a lot of heat gain through the north facing windows and the a/c system simply could not keep up and the offices were constantly hot. The south facing windows faced the street and sidewalk. This exposed all of the workers to people looking in and an uneasy feeling.

In this photo you will notice that you can easily see in the windows on the left, yet cannot see in the windows on the right. That's because the windows on the right have been treated with Daydream 15. The privacy they wanted was achieved and the north facing offices were much cooler.

This Parker home had huge windows that allowed in WAY too much heat and light. The center windows are 90" x 68". The homeowner stated "we can't even sit in this room". But, they didn't want to cover up the windows with shades or heavy drapes. They selected to have Daydream 25 installed on the top windows and Daydream 35 on their lower windows. Two weeks later she commented that the window film has made a big difference. "It's so much more comfortable in here. It's not so hot and I don't feel the need for sunglasses".

It was a cloudy day this photo was taken, but you can see there is very little difference in the tinting shade between the top and bottom windows.

Have foggy or broken windows? We recommend All Star Glass for your glass replacement needs. Billy Glover owner of All Star Glass handles the installations personally, so you are dealing directly with the owner. Visit www.denverallstarglass.com for more information.

When the cold weather rolls around we don't think to much about the sun, except when we are trying to drive and it's in our eyes. We certainly don't think about it damaging our home furnishings and floors. BUT..... the fact is, in the winter months the sun is lower to the horizon and primarily in the south. By being lower to the horizon, the sun shines further into our home. Reaching parts of the floor and furniture that it never touched in the summer.

Clear View window films will block 99% of the damaging UV rays that penetrate your windows. (A major cause of fading). Window film doesn't have to be dark to be effective. We offer a number of very light window films that will block UV and reduce solar heat without a dark or tinted look. Our sun control films will reduce glare, enhancing your view.There's a Clear View Window Film just right for your home!

Northcrest Automotive in Wheat Ridge had a severe heat issue in their waiting area. Facing directly East the sun would warm the area up to 90 degrees by 10:00 a.m.. The owners selected Daydream 15 from American Standard Window Films. As you can see in the picture not only did they reduce the heat entering the windows, but created privacy as well.
